So I'm having some trouble with my power steering pump Since upgrading my transmission I have a dedicated cooler for it so seeing as its the same fluid and my skid totally blocks the oe tiny ps cooler I hooked them together(oe trans cooler to ps)
It did fine for a bit then I discovered a leak in one of my connections letting air bubbles in. I fixed the leak but the power steering pump is screaming, holds a vacuum fine, but somehow I run it for literally a minute to move it in my driveway and the reservoir is full of bubbles..... I have a new pump on hand but am concerned about installing seeing all these bubbles...

Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Will
